End of. Allergies are to the dander or saliva - all dogs have dander and saliva. Hypoallergenic merely means the breed is known to produce LESS dander, doesn't drool, and doesn't shed (the coat itself has nothing to do with allergies btw, shedding coats just tend to produce more dander.) The Chihuahua is NOT on any known hypoallergenic list. Again, they need to talk to a specialist to see how severe their allergies are and what they can do to minimize symptoms or exposure. The only way to know if they will be okay with a dog of ANY breed would be to have them spend serious time with the individual dog (if possible) or the breed.
